Protect Your Family

A Southwest EMS Ambulance Membership is your best protection fromunexpected medical expenses when ambulance transportation is needed.

Highly Trained Staff

Each Southwest EMS ambulance is staffed with a team of highly trained professionals who have completed a rigorous training program. The EMTs and paramedics are state certified by the Arkansas Department of Health, and many are also members of the National Registry of EMTs.

Vital Sign Monitors

Special electronic monitors help provide rapid assessment of blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen content for ill or injured patients.

IV Fluids & Medications

Fluids are rapidly available to help those who are dehydrated, or who have lost blood due to trauma. A vast array of emergency medications for diabetic, heart, and breathing emergencies is also available.

Why should I have an Ambulance Membership?

Few people ever plan to need an ambulance, but the fact is that hundreds of times each year, Southwest EMS responds when a life is on the line. Many others rely on the compassionate care that the highly trained professionals bring each time an ambulance is called.

While people realize that the cost of an ambulance is no longer free, support for this special cost saving program is a solid community investment. Southwest EMS members recognized that the ambulance membership program makes it possible for Southwest EMS to provide the highest quality care possible – paramedic advanced life support. Even in remote rural areas, paramedics are readily available and bring a virtual “rolling emergency room” to the patient’s side.

More importantly, members realize the financial savings that the program provides to them and to the community. With the cost of a single emergency response exceeding $500, a Southwest EMS membership helps offset these often unexpected medical expenses.

Even with a significant segment of the population covered by some form of insurance, most plans – including Medicare and Medicaid – do not fully cover the cost for ambulance services and non-allowed charges. The fact is, you are probably only partially insured for the actual cost of ambulance and emergency medical services.

As a Southwest EMS member, your cost may be fully covered and, in cases where no insurance is available or the insurance denies the claim, you are given a 40% discount off of the normal fees. Those without a membership must pay 100% of the bill each time the ambulance is used. That adds up to hundreds of dollars in savings if the ambulance is only used one time.
